“Oh, I’m sure you would not. But if you say no…I might just act according to the challenge your boy just issued.”
Piper felt fear at his words, “He’s just a little boy,” she gasped. “you can’t be serious.”
“Come and chat with me. I’ll let it slide.” he stated and waved a hand for her to walk ahead of him.
She was going to have no choice and knew it Brandon’s wolf had just issued an Alpha challenge to the man. Likely he had no idea of the consequences. “I have my board to collect yet.”
“Where is your gear? I will get it.” he commented casually.
She pointed it out to him, and watched as he actually walked over and grabbed it, carried her and Brandon’s boards like it was nothing, though to him it wouldn’t be. He followed closely behind her as she made her way off the slope, he even checked their gear in for them, allowed them to change their shoes. Before clamping a hand around her arm.
“Let’s go and have a nice cup of coffee, get the boy a hot chocolate,” he stated calmly as he led her away.
Piper nor Harper liked it. Brandon was still very quiet and had yet to say a word since she’d picked him up, he’d been hugged into her the whole time, likely frightened of what his wolf had just done. Forcing Brandon to the back of his own mind, out of the blue, his wolf had probably scared his own human counterpart.
She needed to get him back to their room and ask him if he was alright, try to explain a bit how it worked, though he was so very young, she’d not expected this at all. It was too soon. It probably only happened due to the threat another Alpha was posing to her at the time. Forced his wolf to emerge.
The Alpha picked a table well away from others and ordered 2 cappuccino’s and a hot chocolate from the waitress, then sat and looked right at her, then at Brandon who was on her lap still. Frowned deeply at her for a long moment as though he was trying to figure her out.
“That is the first time he has appeared, yes?”
Piper looked around the cafe. This was not the place to be having this conversation, out in public, though as she looked around she noted the place was nearly empty now.
“I’ve cleared the cafe,” he commented “I own it, answer the question.”
“Yes.” she stated simply.
“How old is the boy?”
” Why do you want to know? I’ll apologise, we’ll leave.” she told him. If he owned this cafe it was likely he owned the resort and she was in his territory, not that this place felt like a pack would feel.
“How old is the boy?” he asked her again.
“I’m 7.” it was Brandon. “Leave my mum alone.” he suddenly yelled at the Alpha.
Saw the Alpha’s eyes move right to him. “Feisty and very protective already. That is going to be an issue.”
“Who are you?” Piper asked. She needed to know what she was up against or in for, she supposed.
“Alpha Timothy Avery of the Ice Moon Pack, and you are?”
“Piper Harper,” she stated flatly, she’d never heard of the Ice Moon Pack, must be Canadian, he did have the Canadian accent.
“What pack?” he asked “or are you packless?”
If she admitted to being a rogue, he could kill her and get away with it. “That is none of your business,” she told him and watched as he leaned back in his chair, and just stared right at her, looked at Brandon.
The man knew he was Alpha-blooded. That was why he had insisted on this little chat they were having.
Coffee and hot chocolate arrived, his eyes moved back to hers, then he simply pulled out his phone and started using it. Who knew what or why? He could be texting for back up for all she knew.
Several minutes passed, then he put his phone down on the table and slid it across to her. “That’s your company, right?”
She glanced at it. It was her Goddess Gowns website. “Yes, so?”
“It bares no wolfen pack logo or identification mark at all. That’s against the rules, the wolfen laws.” he informed her.
She knew that, but with no scent, no council would see her as a wolf. “In your country maybe,” she stated, hoping he wouldn’t know about hers.
Saw the man smile “You jest right? We are all ruled by one Kingdom, the laws are all the same. I believe you are either packless, therefore a rogue or your pack is breaking the law. Which is it?”
“Why do you care?” she asked, annoyed with him. “What do you want?” He must have an agenda.
Saw his smile turn to a smirk. He knew she was not so dumb. “What do I want?…I want…My daughter to have the world. Which I believe includes a dress by Piper Harper, which you have rudely refused to do at every turn.”
Her jaw tightened, “I did tell her, to call my store and make an appointment. I would see her then.”
